ThedBs.com is pleased to present the premiere of the "Neverland" music video. The footage was shot in 1982 by Phil Marino, who used some of the stills for the cover of Like This. However, the footage languished, The dB's lost touch with Phil, and before you could say "Super 8" a quarter century had gone by.

In no small coincidence, Jake Gorst, filmmaker and creator in 2001 of The dB's Online, knew Phil Marino, although neither knew of the other's connection to The dB's until Jake suddenly realized and asked Phil. Through this happenstance not only were The dB's reunited with Phil, but he donated quite a bit of material to the band's archives, including the footage before you now.

Jake has edited it together with Phil's blessing and as originally intended. It's ancient history, but it's also brand new. Like a vintage clothing store, or 1936 Chateau Lafite Rothschild.

Jake, Phil, THANK YOU! (And isn't that a still from the shoot that's been gracing the top of this messageboard?) Wardrobe changes! Random bicycle! And a Guy-Maddin-esque old-timey silent-film look! Love it.

Why, yes! The still at the top of this page was also taken by Phil at the same time. If you look very carefully at the "Like This" album cover you will see that it is a assemblage of single frames from the same 8mm film.

very cool! thanks for sharing. it was great to get an email from the dBs today mixed in with all the messages asking me to call my congressman and donate to various entities. send news more often! : )

heard amplifier on wxpn in philly riding home from work yesterday, too. a good week.

You're still skinny Will.

Was wondering when someone was going to point that out!

Profoundly cool!!!!

Thanks to Phil and Jake!

Cheers, Tim
